Compared to Jian Ling's surprise, Xu Yi seemed more sophisticated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, in his previous life, he had been in Dianniang's street camp for seven years, although he did not enter the threshold of the great god, but he also knew something about the editors of Dianniang's various departments.

Although the editor-in-charge is the closest person to each author, they are not the author's nanny, and they can only be responsible for the content and recommendation section, and as for publishing, the operation editor is still in charge.

But what Xu Yi didn't expect was that it was a girl who was in charge of him this time!

This girl looked about his age, but she was only half a cut shorter than him, with short tan hair that was flush with her earlobes, and she was wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body.

And compared with the scenery hidden behind a wide T-shirt, her **** tightly wrapped in high-waisted jeans and her beautiful legs comparable to models make all women jealous.

The exquisitely sculpted eyebrows create perfect proportions on the pretty face, and the large watery eyes are enhanced by the contact lenses.

You know, in Dianniang's camp, the girl is equivalent to hail in summer, rainbow in winter, brown bears in the Arctic, and pandas in the zoo, all of which are treasures!

It's hard to see a girl, not to mention a beautiful girl who looks the same age as him!

"Hello, I'm Xu Yi."

After taking a few serious glances, Xu Yi withdrew his gaze.

He likes to look at beautiful women, and that is out of men's instincts, but if he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, and he still messes with y=y, then it is not for a righteous gentleman.

"Hello, Jian Ling, I am the operation editor of your publication this time, you can call me Sister Ling." Jian Ling introduced himself and walked with Xu Yi to the agreed place.

The matter of the badass publication has been almost talked about before, and this time, in addition to talking about the follow-up finishing work, more also has to make an authorization signature.

Although the headquarters will sign a licensing agreement with the author when signing the contract, this does not mean that the website can hide everything from the author, after all, the online article belongs to the author's hard work, and the author has the right to know.

Along the way, Jian Ling gave a general introduction to the publisher.

The publisher is a film and television company called Te, although this company has been established for less than five years, it has published a lot of online novels, and 80% of the books are from the starting point, which can be regarded as an old partner.

As for the contract, Xu Yi didn't understand it very well, but after listening to Jian Ling's introduction, he also took a general look at the contract, and then handed it to Jian Ling.

Dianniang is a big website, even if there has been a collective departure of senior management in the middle of development, but the development history of Guanniang, the overall rise.

And this publishing contract is only three years, and it is not permanent, so the various terms and conditions are very reassuring, even if there is anything unreasonable, he doesn't care very much.

After all, in essence, the badass book may only be a big hit around 08, and the level of fire may only be two years, and by about 10 years, some national policies will have to make it 404.

Throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds is such a foolish thing, Xu Yi naturally won't do it.

The venue for the negotiation was in the café on the fifth floor of the clubhouse, and this time the deputy editor-in-chief of the TE Film and Television Company Publishing House came to negotiate, named Dong Mingjie, a man of about forty.

As soon as he arrived at the agreed place, Dong Mingjie immediately stood up to greet him, and before Jian Ling could speak, he stepped forward and grabbed Jian Ling's hand, with a smile on his face, "Editor Jian, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

When he said this, Dong Mingjie's eyes first glanced at Jian Ling's proud chest a few times, and then looked at Xu Yi.

"Dong Lao is a busy man, of course I can't see it," as he said, Jian Ling quietly withdrew his hand and introduced Xu Yi with his palm upward, "This is the author of the villain, the writer who writes the book." ”

"Hello, Dong Lao." Xu Yi politely stretched out his hand.

"Hello, hello." Dong Mingjie simply shook his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Come, sit down." ”

The coffee table is round in shape, and each table is placed with three bamboo chairs, which look simple but stylish, and as soon as you sit down, a waiter comes over to ask for refreshments.

For a business meal like this, things like refreshments are all decorations, Xu Yi followed Jian Ling to order a latte, and sent the waiter away.

"Dong Lao, last time you told us that you hoped to buy out the film and television copyright of the villain, I don't know ......"

"Heroes have been teenagers since ancient times!"

Dong Mingjie didn't let Jian Ling finish his words, but looked at Xu Yi with emotion.

"Thank you, Dong Lao, for your praise."

replied politely, and Xu Yi stopped talking.

"Dong Lao, it's rare for you to appreciate scholars so much, this is our last revised contract, you can take a look." Seeing that Dong Mingjie was not interested in talking about the copyright of the villain's film and television, Jian Ling did not mention it, but handed over the contract that had been prepared earlier.

Dong Mingjie took the contract and looked at it a few times, shook his head and put it down.

"Dong Lao, are you not satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied," Dong Mingjie sighed in embarrassment, looked out the window and said, "I remember that we have been working together for three or four years." ”

"It's nature."

"Jian Ling, I won't lie to you, you also know the current physical book industry, it is very difficult to do, and the authors I dug up on your website last time did not have a very ideal effect after publication." Dong Mingjie said with a bitter face and deep hatred.

"Well, what do you mean ......"

As he spoke, Jian Ling leaned back in his chair, his face looking as usual.

"Another two percent."

"What?"

Rao Shihe and Jian Ling, who has published thousands of books, were also shocked by Dong Mingjie's words.

Although the villain is a new book, this book has also caused a sensation on the Internet, not to mention the huge readership behind it, it is a pure newcomer, since it can be favored by the publishing house, the price of 1,000 words can't run.

Considering the market for physical books, in the early negotiations, she deliberately made a conservative estimate and sold the copyright at a price of 35 thousand words, which cannot be said to be too high for the bad guys, but it is also fair, after all, the bad guys are not over yet.

Correspondingly, the publisher is responsible for 7% royalties.

Because the publication tax is deducted by the publisher, the 7% is also counted as part of the author's income, so that the final profit from publishing a book is actually only tens of thousands of yuan.

Objectively speaking, with the current fame of the bad guy, in the hands of any writer with a slightly higher star, the number of published words is calculated according to the individual, and the royalties are also paid in full by the publisher.

Compared to those people, 7% of the bad guys is nothing at all.

But now, Dong Mingjie has to be two points lower.

What is this?

5% royalties?

Not to mention the badass, even the books that are less famous than the badass have not had such low royalties!

It's just unbelievable!

"Jian Ling, we are all businessmen, in business, not to mention that as far as I know, this little friend is publishing for the first time, you know, the water of physical publishing is very deep, so let's do it, if the royalty is lower, I can increase the remuneration of 1,000 words to thirty-eight, what do you see?"

These words, although Dong Mingjie said to Jian Ling, his eyes looked at Xu Yi, copyright belongs to copyright, if the author is willing to publish, he can skip the starting point This intermediary can directly sign a contract with the author.

Almost at the same time, Jian Ling also looked at Xu Yi.

Now, she finally understands why Dong Mingjie repeatedly said that he wanted to meet the author!

This old fox is trying to put them in the air!

I was going to die with remorse in my heart, but Jian Ling had nothing to do now.

At the starting point, almost all authors start signing a contract with a fifty-fifty share, that is, although this contract stipulates that the author will exclusively license the work to the starting point copyright, if the publisher wants to empty them, it is not impossible.

If they are empty, it means that the author's income will be doubled.

Although it is not the first time that authors and publishers have put their platforms on the air, for some reason, every time she experiences it, her heart is a little colder.

As if in an instant, the temperature plummeted, and an invisible stiffness spread on the coffee table at lightning speed.

Xu Yi didn't make a sound.

"Young man, you must know that if you sign a contract with us to publish alone, don't say 38 words a thousand words, it is 20 words a thousand words, and your income will be doubled." Dong Mingjie simply made his words clear, "Editor Jane, I think if this little friend signs a contract with our publishing house, you won't stop you." ”
